Leprosy I'm New Orleans.

While delving for information on the
subject of the city's health, | asccrtaincd
what believe is not generally known in
New OrlcanS-that lcprosy exists here to n
considerable extent. 1t has been known
in a vague sort Of way that there were
some cases of the dreaded disease in the
lower parishes, but not that ii prevailed to
any extent in New Orleans. There are
now under treatment in the Charity Hos
pital no less THAI IS cases. | am informed
that the victims Of the disease do not know
with what they arc afflicted, and are going
about their usual vOcations. One of these,
Il woman, is a cook.
am told the nature of their disease is
concealed so as to spare them from isola-
ton. Perhaps the distinguished medical
gentlemen at the hospita! know best what
is proper in the premises, but the unpreiu-
diced observer would say, far better these
unfortunates he stunned and forced into
isolation than that they spread the malady
by contact and by bearing children, which
they are now in danger of doing limo

Those 'HOlincss Eyangclists."

A special to the NeOs and Cow1fey, dated
Raleigh, N. c., March ID, says: "Yestcr.
day a party of people known as Holiness
Evangelists' arrived here. Some were
white and some colorcd. Ii the afternoon
one of them--a woman-prcached on the
street. Last night they went to the col
ored churches, where the most cXtraordi-
nary scenes occurred. The Evangelists
told the negroes that all jewelry must be
given up. They took earrings from the
ears of negro women, and they took also
other jewclry. They kept this and have
not returned it. To-day the negroes are
greatly excited about this matter, and have
made complaint to the Mayor. One of the
Evangelists is reported as having pulled
down pictures in the colored church, say
Ing they must be burned. Mayor Dodd
issued orders this afternoon that hereafter
neither these Evangelists nor the Salvation
Army shall be allowed TO conduct services
on the streets. These Evangelists are said
to be the same who were ordered out of
Columbia, S. c., by a vigilance committee"

ADreaarul disaster.

An accident occurred Monday morning
on the Dedham Branch of the Boston and
providence railroad, between Forest Hill
n Roslindale, at what is known as Bussey
Park Bridge. The z o'clock train from
Dedham, consisting of seven cars and bag
gage car, under charge of Conductor Til
den, broke through the bridge. The en-
CINE and three cars went over safely, but
five others fell through the bridge to the
road beneath, Il distance of 30 feet. The
last car, which was the smoker, turned
completely over and struck IN top of the
others, all being crushed almost out of
shape.
The cause of the accident is said to nave
been the breaking of the bridge. 1t is
stated that the bridge is a comparatively
new one, and that the accident was caused
by q truck of one Of the cars giving away,
causing the car TO strike against the abut-
ment of the bridge.
The smoking car after it fell caught fire.
but the fire department was promptly on
hand and prevented any spread of the
flames. The bodies of the dead have all
been removed, and Of the wounded some
arc at hospitals and some have been taken
home. The latest estimate of the casualties
is 81 killed and about 30 wounded.
That the horrors of fire were not added
to the terrible disaster was due to the
pIolhptneSS with which relief was sent. A
chemical engine from Roslindale was at
the scene within 20 minutes after the
wreck occurred, brought by a letter-car-
rier, who gave an alarm of fire upon ob,
serving flames issuing from the debris. The
flames were soon cXtinguished and the fire.
men then did excellent work in rcscuing
the injured. The stoves in all the cars
were securely fastened to the floors by iron
bolts and the doors of lie stoves were
locked. In only one car did the stove up
set, although in one instance Il stove was
smashed clear through the roof of the car
in which ii had been.
